by peculiar culture, actually shipped as
late as Jnly4. And yet last season was
the very worst growers ever knew here,
both drouth and frost being unpreeed-
emily severe Fruit growing is going
to be great industry here when we
get canning and drying establishments.
Poultry raising is profitable. Half
grown chickens sell here in town at 10
cents and ia Little Rock and Hot
Springs at 20 cents Eggs here are pow
20 cents, and the weather is as pleasant
yet as Wisconsin May, and the
chickens can still get good supply Of
insects in the ground and in old logs
and stumps. besides weed seeds, etc
The South. however, is not without
it's drawbacks, and one who doesn't
mind tho r;gor of Wisconsin winters
would better stay there. for in all my
wide wanderings have never seen a
better or more more beautiful, bat
many worse region than the prairies
of Grant comfy, for four or live months
in the wear Almost everywhere il the
South it rains too much in the winter
and the hot weather 10 summer lasts
too long. Yet the hottest days here are
not so hot as in Wisconsin. The rec
ords show it and have often noted it.
Only for two days last summer did the
thermometer register 100 here, while !
saw it noted in the HERALD at l06
Then there is usually refreshrngly
breeze here in the Summer and nearly
all summer the nights are refreshing
cool, the coolness beginning even be
fore sunset and enabling one to sleep
comfortably under cover.
The winters are so mild that one can
work out comfortably every day when
it isn't actually raining. In many
parts of the South tie sticky soil makes
the mud very annoying during the
winter season, but in this neighbor-
hood, owing to the gravelly soil, we are
troubled very little with mud, and the
roads are nearly always firm.
Ii any Grant county people wish to
escape the long and dreary northern
winters and engage in fruit, poultry or
vegetable raising. this region offers the
best advantage of any know of. Hot

II is very amusing TO watch the Eng
hsh audience during this show. They
take the most intense interest in the trip
Of the Deadwood stage, and every day
there are more than enough who volun-
teer from the spectators to fill it and take
the ''perilous ride" in the midst of the
hostile Indians. The riding of the ugly
little mustangs Is something that is SO
different from anything they have seen
or heard Of that their enthusiasm over
that is very great. They seem, too, to
have q great admiration for Mr.. Cody,
and watch him closely in everything he
does. The riding of the girls they donot
care much for, rs there is nothing in that
which is particularly unlike the riding Of
plenty Of English girls.
After the show is over the greater part
of the audience make a grand rush for
the tents, and they stand and look into
them by the hour. II seems to be the
height Of bliss to the young English fel.

q~uaintance with any Of the Mexicans or

able Order of Domestic Service, " In which
persons are enrolled who have done good
duty TO their employers for a long term of

last January, and is in connection with
the Journal known as The Culver, whose
editor says that he has received since the
new year 6,00O letters on the subject, and
has admitted into the association 1000
members. Fifty OF these have been in
their present places upward of half n cen

1t is a remarkable fact that in London
u jump should have been made in almost
a single bound from the old fashioned
English inn, with its dark, lily ventilated,
cramped and uncomfortable Railways and
bedrooms, TO such Il hotel as the Metrop-
ole, with its 500 high and well lighted
rooms, its richly furnished saloons, and
all the other beauties and advantages that
the most advanced modern architecture
can devise. No n can step into this
world renowned establishment without
an expression OF wonder and delight.
The building alone, TO say nothing OF its
perfect arrangements, is now one Of the
institutions OF London that must be seen
by every American traveller. Naturally
IL has come TO be the center OF American
travel in London and a majority OF its
guests is often made up OF Americans.
No single hotel in Europe begins to np-
preach the Metropole in popularity with
American travellers. 1t is also the favor
lite with the English public. Its superb
Whitehall rooms are the best OF their kind
In London. 1t was only a few weeks ago
that the Prince Of Wales presided there
at the seventy-fourth anniversary of the
London Orphan asylum, when contribu-
Hon reaching $25, 900 were handed In.
The Metropole is the PRINCES favorite
hotel, for the reason hat its beauty Of
construction and interior decorations and
Its advantages generally are incomparably
superior TO those OF any other hotel In
London.-New York World.
